THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A SMALL
BUSINESS, TO HAPPEN TO US.
MIKE: LACONIA POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING THE BURGLARY AT
GREAT NORTHERN WOODS VAPE SHOP.
JUST AFTER 5:00 THIS MORNING, AN
UNWANTED VISITOR COULD BE SEEN

THE CASH REGISTER, TRYING TO GET
THE CASH REGISTER OPEN, WENT
BEHIND THE DESK AND WAS
RUMMAGING THROUGH ALL OUR
